Priming Your Spa
When  lling your spa for the  rst time or,
after draining and re lling the spa, you
may need to bleed air from the system.
Should you experience an air-lock on
Pump 1, remove the  lter cover,
insert a garden hose through each center
hole that holds the  lter as far as possible
without using force. Hold the hose in place
and turn on the water. Cycle pump 1 from
low to high several times, this forces water
into the pump and forces the air out. If this
does not work or you experience an air-lock
on Pump 2, remove the side panel and
locate the pump. With the pump on high
speed, slowly loosen the discharge (top)
pump union until water starts to trickle out.
Once water is trickling out, hand tighten
the union (do not over tighten as this could
cause the union to crack) and replace the
side panel
